Clouds will decrease a little bit today as an area of high pressure builds into the region. It will remain very chilly though, with morning temperatures starting in the teens and highs barely getting to 30 degrees. Winds should be more manageable around 10 mph, without the 30-mph gusts like yesterday.

We have been monitoring a coastal storm which will likely bring snow to southern New England Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. As of now, it is swinging just a little too far out to sea, which means it will have a bigger storm potential for the Boston area and the Cape -- not in Western Massachusetts.

The track can change in the coming days, but latest models only call for a minor 1 to 3 inches in Springfield -- a little less than earlier estimates. Winter storm warnings (6+ inches) may be issued towards the Cape, but for western Mass it should only be the less-intense winter weather advisory stuff. 35-mph wind gusts may impact the region as the storm passes on Wednesday.

While it does remain cold for the next few days, we should see a nice increase in the temperatures later in the week. Friday's and Saturday's highs get into the 50s. However, a steady dose of rain showers may start off the weekend Friday night.
